AP433 Series
3.1
What is AP433?
Access Points contain radio devices that communicate with the Meru Controller
and form the wireless LAN (WLAN). The Meru Controller and Access Points
connect to the site’s wired LAN through wired switches. Wireless clients associate
with the Access Points as they roam throughout the WLAN. As such, they are an
extension of the wired LAN, providing the wireless benefits of client mobility,
enhanced access, and dynamic network configuration.
Figure 1 Wireless LAN Connected to a Network
The AP433 Series Access Point series delivers high performance, full-speed, WiFi certified 802.11n connectivity while simultaneously supporting legacy
802.11a/b/g devices. It is particularly suited to deployments that make use of voice
or video wireless applications.

Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before
installing and operating this Product.
The AP433e is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE
Std 802.3af and 802.3at. All interconnected equipments must be contained within
the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN
connection.
4.2
Package Content, AP433e
Confirm that the AP433e shipping package contains these items:
4.3
•
AP433e
•
Nine (9) external antennas
•
Wall mounting bracket
•
Rubber feet
•
Locking pin
•
Two mounting screws
Determine Power Requirements
Power requirements vary, depending on which AP433e radios are deployed and
what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power sources for
different radio configurations.
Table 2, Power Source & Radio Supported in AP433
4.3.1
Power Source
Radio Supported
IEEE Std 802.3af
Radio 1 and Radio 2
IEEE Std 802.3at
Radio 1, 2, and 3
IEEE Std 802.3af PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier Version) and an IEEE Std
802.3af PoE power source, Meru only supports two radios (radio 0 and 1).
This is because three radios using an IEEE Std 802.3af switch/PoE injector may
not have enough power to operate properly. When using an 802.af PoE, Meru
supports single or dual radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each.
4.3.2
IEEE Std 802.3at PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier version) and an IEEE Std
802.3at, all possible configurations are supported (all three radios utilizing up to 3
antennas each). or a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power
Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs.
4.4
Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP433e to be mounted on
the wall and over junction boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for passing the
PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable through the bracket if the bracket is
mounted on a junction box.
The AP433e has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP433e with a standard
security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers.
Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP433e either from the ceiling or
inside an enclosure:
Above Suspended Ceiling Mounting Kit (T-Bar Hanger): MNT-SCRMKIT-01
Above hanging ceiling tiles. Suitable for use in environmental air space in
accordance with the Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections
2- 128.12 - 010 (3) and 12 - 100 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Part 1. C22. 1.

4.6
Install the AP433e
This section describes how to install an AP433e, which is supported on System
Director Version 6.0-SR1 and later. It contains the following subjects,
4.6.1
•
Select a Location
•
Attach the Provided Antennas
•
Install the Access Point
Select a Location
All AP433e interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection,
must be contained within the same building. In addition, the AP433e location
should meet the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location
with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an
office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum is
supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed
communications path. On a wall, orient the AP433e horizontally so that you can
read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation
provides optimum MIMO performance.
Meru recommends planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference
region) if you plan to use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a
data-only installation, plan up to 128 clients per radio. Refer to the Meru
Deployment Guides on the support site for more information.
AP433e is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated
below. Plan placement with this pattern in mind.
Figure 5, Coverage Pattern for AP433e when Ceiling Mounted
Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building.
Place APs about 80 feet apart.
Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or
electric service panels.
For best coverage, orient antennas as shown in Figure 2 AP433e.
4.6.2
Attach the Provided Antennas
All AP433es have nine external antenna ports, labeled A1 – A9. These units
operate with nine antennas attached, even though some configurations don’t use
all nine. Instead of attaching an antenna, you can cap unused antenna connectors
with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators. (For a list of approved terminators,
see http://support.merunetworks.com/.) Meru-supplied antennas are suitable only
for indoor use. To achieve the best performance from your AP433e, user shall
position antennas at a 90 degree angles relative to each other as shown in Figure
6, AP433e Antennas in Ceiling and Wall-mount Configuration. (The antennas do
not have to be oriented exactly as shown in the figure, but it is important to
maintain the relative angles.) If for some reason you are unable to maintain those
angles, the network will still operate, but you may experience up to a 20% drop in
throughput depending on the antenna orientation.
Figure 6, AP433e Antennas in Ceiling and Wall-mount Configuration
Do not leave any antenna connectors opened. All connectors on the AP must be
terminated with antennas or with 50 ohm Reverse Polarity SMA terminators.
The attached antennas must be the same model; if you replace one antenna with
a different type, replace them all.

Note
This document depicts installation procedures for the AP433i and 433is models.
Since both devices are externally identical, the same procedures can be used for
either device.
5.2
Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before
installing and operating this Product.
The AP433i & 433is is intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in
IEEE Std 802.3af and 802.3at. All interconnected equipments must be contained
within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated
LAN connection.
5.3
Package Content, AP433i & 433is
Confirm that the AP433i & 433is shipping package contains these items:
5.4
•
AP433i or AP433is
•
Plastic attachment (used when paddle antenna is disconnected)
•
Wall mounting bracket
•
Rubber feet
•
Locking pin
•
Two mounting screws
Determine Power Requirements
Power requirements vary, depending on which AP433i & 433is radios are
deployed and what MIMO mode is used. See the chart below for supported power
sources for different radio configurations.
Table 5, Power Source & Radio Supported in AP433
5.4.1
Power Source
Radio Supported
IEEE Std 802.3af
Radio 1 and Radio 2
IEEE Std 802.3at
Radio 1, 2, and 3
IEEE Std 802.3af PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier Version) and an IEEE Std
802.3af PoE power source, Meru only supports two radios (radio 0 and 1).
This is because three radios using an IEEE Std 802.3af switch/PoE injector may
not have enough power to operate properly. When using an 802.af PoE, Meru
supports single or dual radios utilizing up to 3 antennas each.
5.4.2
IEEE Std 802.3at PoE Usage
When using System Director V6.0 SR2 (or earlier version) and an IEEE Std
802.3at, all possible configurations are supported (all three radios utilizing up to 3
antennas each). or a list of supported PoEs, see the appendix Supported Power
Over Ethernet Devices for Meru APs.
5.5
Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP433i & 433is to be
mounted on the wall and over junction boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for
passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable through the bracket if the
bracket is mounted on a junction box.
The AP433i & 433is has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP433i & 433is
with a standard security cable, such as those used to secure laptop computers.
Purchase optional mounting kits to mount the AP433i & 433is either from the

Install the AP433i & 433is
This section describes how to install an AP433i & 433is, which is supported on
System Director Version 6.0-SR2 and later. It contains the following subjects,
5.7.1
•
Select a Location
•
Attach the Provided Antennas
•
Install the Access Point
Select a Location
All AP433i interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building,
including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling
mounting is recommended but wall mounting is also supported. In addition, the
AP433i should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location
with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an
office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling (plenum is
supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed
communications path. On a wall, orient the AP433i horizontally so that you can
read the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation
provides optimum MIMO performance.
We recommend planning for about 50 clients per radio (or per interference region)
if you plan to use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. For a data-only
installation, plan up to 128 clients per radio, meaning 256 for AP433i. Refer to the
Meru Deployment Guides on the support site for more information.
Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the
network switch servicing the controller. AP433i is designed to provide 180 degree
omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan placement with this pattern in
mind.
Figure 17, Coverage pattern of AP433i & 433is when ceiling mounted
Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
5.8
•
Install APs toward the center of the building.
•
Place APs about 80 feet apart.
•
Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors,
or electric service panels.
Install the Access Point AP433i & 433is
AP433i & 433is ships with a mounting bracket included in the box. This bracket is
intended for installation as a wall-mount; for mounting on a ceiling, no mount is
typically required. See the following subjects for more specific details.

•
Ground wire
Figure 27, OAP433e outdoor access point (top & bottom)
6.2
Installation Requirements
In addition to the hardware supplied by Meru Networks, you need the following
required accessories.
•
Antennas (sold separately)
•
RF coaxial cable to connect the antennas to the OAP433e
•
Drill (if wall-mounting)
•
Crescent wrench
•
Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable, Cable type CMX
Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap
Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap
Note
The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP433e’s water-tight input port,
which is provided in the package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the
connection. Follow the instructions listed later in this chapter to properly install the
cable.
6.3
Power Requirements
The OAP433e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered
by a PoE device. In order to ensure that all three radios on the AP are active, it
must be plugged into an 802.3at power source. If an 802.3af source is used, the
third radio will be disabled due to insufficient power.
6.4
Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector
The OAP433 ships with a separate Ethernet connector that must be disassembled
in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself,
this connector will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP.
To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector:
•
Unscrew the two main components of the connector.
•
Remove the insert from the larger portion of the connector. This should
be a rubber casing surrounded by a plastic shell. Both the plastic shell
and the rubber casing should have a slit along one side, allowing them to
be opened up in order to insert the cable.
•
Prior to attaching the rubber casing to the cable, run the cable through
the smaller portion of the original two-part enclosure. Be sure to run the
cable through the smaller opening (at the top of the plastic component)
so that the head of the cable goes towards the AP. (Note that this step
can be done after the rest of the connector has been assembled, but it
can be difficult to do so when deploying long cables, so it’s best to do it
here instead.)
•
Run the Ethernet cable through the slit in the rubber casing and ensure
that the casing wraps firmly around the cable. The Ethernet connector at
the end of the cable should be on the larger side of the rubber casing.
•
Replace the larger plastic component (the one that has threading on both
ends) such that it fits around the rubber casing with the plastic shell. The
portion of the component with a large rubber washer should be facing the
end of the Ethernet cable (which will be connected to the AP).
•
Connect the Ethernet cable to the port on the AP and screw the plastic
threading in place. This should be tightened firmly, but should not require
excessive force.
•
Finally, screw the last plastic portion to the top of the threading. Again,
tighten this firmly, but not excessively. The gap between the top cap and
the base of the threading component should be 3mm when using a
24AWG cable or 3.8mm when using a 22AWG cable.
Now that the Ethernet cable connection has been fully assembled, the AP is ready
to be deployed.
6.5
Installing the Access Point
When you plan the OAP433e physical configuration, include the elements shown
in this Figure 28, SAmple physical layout
Figure 28, SAmple physical layout
6.6
Radio Position Planning
Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines. In
addition, local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or
tower. If your OAP433e link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a
professional contractor for advice. Once the required antenna height has been
determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the OAP433e must be
considered.
6.7
•
Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft.) of the
OAP433e.
•
Place the OAP433e away from power and telephone lines.
•
Avoid placing the OAP433e too close to any metallic, reflective surfaces,
such as roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire
fences, or water pipes.
Radio Interference
Avoiding radio interference is an important part of wireless planning. Interference
is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel
frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to
determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrums.
Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal on the
spectrum.
6.8
Weather Conditions
Take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your
location. Consider these factors:
•
Temperature — The OAP433e is tested for normal operation in
temperatures from - 40°F to 140°F. Operating in temperatures outside of
this range may cause the unit to fail.
•
Wind Velocity — The OAP433e can operate in winds up to 44 m/s and
survive higher wind speeds up to 66 m/s. You must consider the known
maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any
supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand
this force.
•
Lightning — You should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure,
and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning
rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed in
order to protect against lightning strikes on the antennas. Contact Meru
Sales for more information regarding this equipment.
•
Rain — The OAP433e is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged
heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is
recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet
port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a
connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a
complete failure of the link.
•
6.9
Snow and Ice — Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the
radio signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause
the link to fail.In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the
antennas to restore operation of the link.
Ethernet Cabling
When a suitable antenna location has been determined, plan a cable route from
the OAP433e outdoors to the PoE-enabled controller indoors. Consider these
points:
6.10
•
The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 ft.
•
Determine a building entry point for the cable.
•
Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety
or protection of the cable.
•
For lightning protection at the controller end of the cable, consider using
a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building.
•
The shield of the ethernet cable needs to be grounded at the lightning
arrestor. If, by design, the lightning arrestor cannot provide this ground,
the shield of the ethernet cable will need to be grounded by the installer.
Grounding
It is important that the OAP433e, cables, and any supporting structures are
properly grounded. The OAP433e unit includes a grounding screw to attach a
ground wire. (See Figure 29, OAP433e grounding holes) for grounding screw
locations.) Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national
electrical codes.
Figure 29, OAP433e grounding holes
6.11
Test Basic Link Operation
Prior to deploying the AP, it is recommended that users connect it to an existing
Meru deployment in order to ensure basic functionality. This can be done indoors
in a controlled setting, prior to going through the trouble of mounting it externally.
To do so, simply connect the AP to an existing controller and verify that the
controller recognizes it. If so, proceed with the following section in order to deploy
the AP.
6.12
Mounting the Access Point
The OAP433e can be mounted on the following (brackets are included):
6.12.1
•
2 to 3 inch diameter pole
•
Wall
Mounting OAP433e with the Pole-Mounting Bracket
Be sure to attach antennas (see Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to
OAP433e) before mounting an OAP433e on a pole. Follow these steps to mount
the unit to a 2 to 3 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket:
•
Attach the OAP433e to the square portion of the mounting bracket by
placing the bracket flat against the bottom of the AP and inserting screws
into the corners of the bracket portion. The holes on the bracket should
correspond to the holes on the bottom of the AP. See Figure 30, Square
mounting bracket attached to bottom of OAP433e.
Figure 30, Square mounting bracket attached to bottom of OAP433e
Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the P
(the AP’s sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments).
This is to ensure that the AP is properly oriented when the bracket is fully
assembled.
•
Next, identify the portion of the bracket assembly that inserts into the
circular opening on the portion currently attached to the AP. The correct
component has a corresponding circular section with a hollow cone
protruding from one face of it. See Figure 31, Second bracket attachment
Figure 31, Second bracket attachment
•
Insert the cone into the circular portion of the bracket attached to the AP.
The two should fit somewhat snugly, although a screw assembly will be
required to hold them in place.
•
Run one of the long screws provided in the package down through the
hole that runs through both portions of the bracket. The head of the
screw should fit into the hexagonal slot on the top of the bracket
assembly.
•
On the other end of the screw (i.e., the one that doesn’t have the
hexagonal head), slide a flat washer and then a lock washer into place.
The flat washer should be against the base of the mounting assembly.
•
Screw one of the hexagonal nuts into place on top of the two washers.
Once tightened, the nut should force the lock washer into place and the
two bracket components should be locked together.
•
At this point, locate the third portion of the bracket. It should be shaped
like a small, wide ‘v’. This part will be used to brace against the backside
of the pole.
•
Place the opening of the ‘v’ bracket against the pole and hold the
OAP433e (with attached bracket assembly) up opposite it. The holes on
either end of the ‘v’ bracket should align with the two middle holes on the
‘v’ portion of the bracket attached to the AP.
•
Slide the two remaining long screws from the package contents into the
corresponding holes. The hexagonal head of each screw should be on
the bracket end that faces the AP (i.e., on the end that is already
attached to the AP itself).
•
Again, slide a flat washer followed by a lock washer and a hexagonal nut
onto the bottom of each screw.
•
Tighten the securing nuts just enough to hold the bracket to the pole.
(The bracket may need to be rotated around the pole during the
alignment process.)
•
Rotate/orient the AP as desired, then tighten the nuts securely in place.
•
Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller inside the building and verify
that all antennas are securely connected.
Note
When fully deployed, the Meru logo on the top of the AP should be right-side up.
This will ensure that the Ethernet cable is oriented downwards when the entire
bracket is assembled. Make sure that the AP is properly oriented before tightening
everything in place on the pole.
6.12.2
Mounting OAP433e with the Wall-Mounting Bracket
Attach the bracket to a wall with the flat side flush against the wall. Follow these
steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket:
•
Prior to attaching the bracket to the AP, it is important to drill the required
holes in the wall and insert the sheetrock anchors provided in the AP
package. One of the three included bracket components consists of a
circular portion (with a hollow cone in the center) connected to a wide ‘v’shaped portion. Use the ‘v’-shaped portion as a guide.
•
Place the ‘v’ component against the wall at the desired location and mark
the four holes (one at each corner of the bracket) on the wall.
Note
Note that the bracket must be oriented such that the wider portions of the bracket
are its top and bottom when placed against the wall. This will ensure that the fully
deployed AP will be oriented properly (with the Ethernet cable leading downwards).
•
Remove the bracket and drill the corresponding holes. When finished,
insert the plastic sheetrock anchor inserts into each hole drilled.
•
Place the bracket against the wall again and use the screws provided
with the plastic anchors to attach it to the wall.
•
Using the portion of the bracket assembly that has a flat component
attached to another circular portion (seeFigure 32, Square mounting
bracket), attach the OAP433e to the square portion of the mounting
bracket by placing the bracket flat against the bottom of the AP and
inserting screws into the corners of the bracket portion. The holes on the
bracket should correspond to the holes on the bottom of the AP. Figure
33, Square mounting bracket attaches to bottom of OAP433e
Figure 32, Square mounting bracket
Figure 33, Square mounting bracket attaches to bottom of OAP433e
Note
Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the AP
(the AP’s sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments).
This is to ensure that the AP is properly oriented when the bracket is fully
assembled.
•
Insert the circular portion of the bracket attached to the AP into the hollow
cone portion of the bracket on the wall. The two should fit somewhat
snugly, although a screw assembly will be required to hold them in place.
•
Run one of the long screws provided in the package down through the
hole that runs through both portions of the bracket. The head of the
screw should fit into the hexagonal slot on the top of the bracket
assembly.
•
On the other end of the screw (i.e., the one that doesn’t have the
hexagonal head), slide a flat washer and then a lock washer into place.
The flat washer should be against the base of the mounting assembly.
6.12.3
•
Screw one of the hexagonal nuts into place on top of the two washers.
Once tightened, the nut should force the lock washer into place and the
two bracket components should be locked together.
•
Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller and verify that all antennas
are securely connected.
Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to OAP433e
OAP433e does not ship with any antenna by default. Since customers have
different outdoor applications, we suggest that you choose from the various
antenna options offered by Meru. See the list in Optional External Antennas.
The OAP433e works both with antennas that attach directly to the unit and remote
antennas. When using antennas that attach to the unit, attach the antennas before
installing the unit. When deploying an OAP433e with remote antennas, first mount
remote antennas and then connect them to the AP. If you aren’t planning on using
some of the antennas, be sure to terminate the connections with antenna
terminators in order to prevent excess transmissions from unused connectors.
Note
Although there are three radios in the OAP433e, space constraints allow for only
eight antennas to be connected to the AP. Consequently, Radio 1 only supports
two antennas. See Figure 34, Antenna-Radio Mapping for OAP433e & Figure 35,
Antenna-Radio Mapping & Radio Settingfor details on which antennas correspond
to each radio
Figure 34, Antenna-Radio Mapping for OAP433e
Figure 35, Antenna-Radio Mapping & Radio Setting
Follow these steps to connect antennas:
•
Remove the protective dust caps from the antenna connectors.
•
Mount the external antenna on the same supporting structure as you did
the OAP433e, within 3 m (10 ft.) of it, using the bracket supplied in the
antenna package.
•
Connect the antenna to the OAP433e’s N-type connector (5G-1 and
2.4G-1) using the RF coaxial cable provided in the antenna box.
•
Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent
water entering the connectors.
Follow these steps to attach the ground wire:
•
A grounding screw and cable are both provided in the product packaging.
The OAP433e has two grounding holes, in the corners on the underside
of the AP. See Figure 36, Grounding holes
•
Connect the screw to either of the holes and attach the provided
grounding wire.
•
Attach the other end of the grounding wire to an appropriate grounding
source.
Figure 36, Grounding holes
Note
When not using antenna connectors on the OAP433e, keep the covers securely
attached for weather protection. Once the AP is deployed, these unused
connectors must be properly terminated.

Remarks
8.1
Maximum EIRP
The transmit EIRP is the sum of the conductive transmit power, IEEE Std 802.11n
multilple stream effect, and the antenna gain. By default, Meru 433 SERIES AP
EIRP is set lower than the regulatory limit with the default antenna.
8.2
Dual Concurrent Same Band Operation
With grant of additional regulatory approval and FCC Permit-but-Ask, users may
configure two radios in 433 SERIES AP on the same band (i.e., two or three
radios are on the 5.x CHz but in the different or same channels).
However, user shall expect performance deterioration due to RF collision and
collocation interference. It is important that users adopt external antennas, with
extended coaxial pigtail cables, with 433 SERIES APe in such use case. User
shall place antennas far apart to reduce interference.
Meanwhile, user shall also reduce 433 SERIES APe transmit power, for each
radio, by at-least 3 dBm from its default setting.
8.3
Manufacturing Information
The 433 SERIES AP models are built in China. Contact with Meru Networks for
manufacturing related information.
